Amaarae Gets Flirty With Star Signs On Co-Star Single

If the first two songs are anything to go by, we are in for one of the best album experiences when Fountain Baby Drops.

As we approach the season of Fountain Baby, Bad Bitch Whisperer Amaarae serves listeners a taste of what is to come when the album drops in June. After releasing Reckless and Sweet and breaking the internet with her Coachella Billboard, Amaarae with her second single of the year Co-Star. If you are enthusiastic about astrology and bad bitches, this song is the song for you.

The song is a celebration of women, and their different personalities and traits through the various zodiac signs, while it empowers women to embody their beauty without conforming to society’s beauty standards. The video for the song features The Clermont Twins, Moyosore Briggs, Deto Black, Lois Saunders, and Biba Williams, among others who are beautifully styled by Briana Shanee. In a time when astrology has become a huge part of youth and pop culture, and the world needed someone to give us clarity, here comes Amaarae. Unlike the avatar, Ama showed up and gave us a proper lecture on star signs while serving us what looks like the song of the summer. As Gen Zs would say, it is giving and that’s on periodt!.

Amaarae’s sultry and silky vocals bring out the R&B in the song which largely feels like a mix of afrobeats and house but is not amapiano. The song gives us insight into the star signs and is also Amaarae’s approach to finding an ultimate love interest. The video is presented as a showcase with judges passing out judgements on the women who represent each sign. It would have been a tough day for me if I was the judge because God knows I would want them all. Amaarae might have felt that way as she did not know which to choose in the opening moment of the song.

Under Amaarae’s seductive spell, we explore the sexualities of these amazing women from the spoiled Leos to the Nasty Sags. (If you belong to any of these signs, text me. I want to spoil you nasty). There were way too many hot women all in one space. It was not surprising when Amaarae kept saying Air, I need some air. Air, I need some air, air.

She talks about meeting someone that gave her a taste of both sides of the coin in a Gemini who she describes as a saint and demon. She may like the idea of the more the merrier, with Geminis, but she would not advise someone to go that way. me and her felt like threesomes. She too nice and she too lethal. I would not advise
There are moments when she is caught in disbelief There's no way you're Virgo
Cute but far from loyal. She switches her attention to Aries who she describes as bad but will pass. This writer would love to see for themselves what is so frightful about Aries the Thee Bad Bitch Whisper is passing despite admitting that are truly and well Bad.

There is a twist in the last tale of the song when she gets to Taurus, Aquarius and Libras. Crazy like Aquarius. Text me when you're serious. Tease me like a Taurus. Them Libra bitches horrible.

In all, the song outlines the differences that exist among all the star signs and despite those differences, it celebrates all of them in their elegance and swag. This is one of the few times Amaarae has served us an upbeat song and this one comes right in time for the summer festivities. The visual on the other hand presents a nostalgic feeling as it highlights some Y2K fashion which was ever so present in 2000s music videos. Other parts of the video felt like excerpts from Race car games and street race scenes from the race car movies like Fast and Furious. One thing this writer could not shake off is the likeness of the cars to the women. Just like the women, the cars were stylish, classy, elegant, and lavish. In the opening scenes of the video where each woman was assigned to a car, it felt like a person and their spirit animal. If the first two songs are anything to go by, we are in for one of the best album experiences when Fountain Baby Drops.
